Suggested One Read: Small Great Things

We have just a few more nominated titles to share with you before the year ends. In the meantime, we are highlighting just some of the suggested titles so you can see what others are enjoying.

In Jodi Picoult’s “Small Great Things,” an black labor and delivery nurse, Ruth, is forbidden to assist with a newborn born to white supremacist parents, but when the baby goes into cardiac arrest, Ruth is the only one around. Because she hesitates before performing CPR, she’s charged with a serious crime. Our nominator says the book is “well-written, engaging, eye-opening (at least it was for me) and hopeful.”
